The efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy for mental health and quality of life among individuals diagnosed with cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • * The analysis involved 132 clinical trials with over 1,000 participants, showing that CBT significantly improves MH and QoL scores in cancer patients.
  • * Factors like age and the way therapy is delivered affect how effective CBT is, suggesting that younger patients may benefit more from this treatment approach.

Article Abstract

Objective: It has long been documented that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has positive impacts on improving mental health (MH) and quality of life (QoL) in the general population, but investigations on its effect on cancer survivors remain limited, especially for QoL outcomes. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to investigate the effects of CBT as compared to control on cancer patients' MH and QoL outcomes. Control is defined in this study as standard therapy, waitlist control, and active/alternative therapy.

Methods: In total, 154 clinical trials creating a sample size of 1627 individuals were collected. Analysis focusing on MH and QoL excluded 29 clinical trials resulting in a final analysis of 132 clinical trials (and 1030 effect sizes). R Statistical Software (version 4.2.2) and the robumeta package were utilized to complete analysis, which entailed robust variance estimation (RVE) in intercept-only meta-regression, and univariate meta-regression (for moderator analysis).

Results: Across 132 clinical trials and 1030 effect size estimates, we identified that CBT moderately improves MH and QoL in cancer patients d = 0.388, 95% CI 0.294-0.483, p < 0.001. Additionally, age and delivery format can influence the efficacy of CBT in this patient population.

Conclusions: CBT statistically improves the MH and QoL psychosocial parameters in cancer patients with greater efficacy in younger patients. Important clinical and intervention-related factors, that is, age and delivery, should be considered when oncologists consider CBT as a psychotherapeutic intervention for individuals with cancer.
